Statkeeper will keep records of scoring data for each of
your rounds, generate statistics and calculate 18 hole and 9
hole handicaps based on 1993 USGA rules.  Listings of course
data and summary data for each round can be displayed.  Your
current handicap and a plot of the last year of your
handicap values can also be shown.

The program requires Windows Version 3.0 or higher running
in Standard or 386 Enhanced mode.

Version 1.3 may be freely distributed as long as this text
file is included.

In return for a $25 registration fee ($15 to registered
users of previous versions), I will send you Version 3.0.
This version adds the following features to those described
for Version 1.3.

1.Automated setup.  -  A setup program is provided which
  will copy all files to the appropriate directories and
  create a Program Manager Group and a Statkeeper Icon.

2.Multiple player records.  -  Records for up to 1000
  players can be maintained.

3.Record filtering.  -  Scoring data can be filtered by
  course and range of dates.  Score and statistics displays
  reflect only those scores meeting the filter setting.
  Printout and export of scores and statistics are also
  limited by the filter.

4.Single course statistics.  -  If the data filter is set
  to a single course, average scores on each hole and a
  ranking of the holes for the selected course is included
  on the statistics screen.

5.Printing of course info, scores, statistics, and/or
  handicaps for multiple players.  -  Any combination of
  printouts can be selected for any number of players in
  one operation.

6.Export of score and/or handicap data to text files.  -
  Data for selected players can be exported to quoted
  string, comma delimited text files.  These files can be
  imported into spreadsheets, databases, or other
  applications.

7.Built-in context sensitive help.  -  Pressing F1 will
  provide pertinent information.  Help can also be called
  from the menu bar.  A list of contents and keywords are

Installation

Create a directory for the program files.  Copy all files
to this directory.  Run SK13.EXE to start the program.


Getting Started

Follow the steps listed below.

Enter the first Player's Name (see Adding a Player).  You
should then Set the Starting Date and the Handicap Update
Rate (see Configure Dates).  You must also Enter Data for at
least one Course (see Entering Course Data) before you can
Enter Scoring Data  (see Entering Score Data).

To be safe, you should periodically backup your data files.
000.HCP, 000.SCR, 000.PLR, PLAYERS.DAT, COURSE.DAT, and
CONFIG.DAT files should be copied to a floppy or other safe
place.


Adding a Player

Select FILE-OPEN from the menu bar.  Click on the top line
of the list box and type the name to be added.  Click on the
Select button after typing the name and the name will be
added to the list and you will be returned to the main
screen.  This version will allow only one name to be added
to the list.


Deleting a Player

Select FILE-OPEN from the menu bar.  Click on the player to
be deleted and then click on the Delete button.  Be careful,
as this will delete the Player's name from the list and will
delete all Scoring records for that player.  You will be
returned to the main screen after the Player deletion.


Entering Course Data

Select ENTER-COURSES from the menu bar.  Enter a unique
course name.  Check 9 Hole if a 9 hole course is being
entered and there are not dual tees.  If 9 Hole is checked,
then duplicate pars will be entered on the front and back
9's.  Enter course Yardage, Slope and Course Rating if
known.  Enter the Course Rating and/or Yardage based on 18
holes (double a 9 hole Rating or Yardage).  If a Course
Rating is not entered, Yardage must be supplied.  Enter Par
for each hole.  Do not press <CR> after entering a number.
The cursor will advance automatically.  Click on Done when
you are satisfied that the data is correct and complete.


Entering Score Data

Select ENTER-SCORES from the menu bar.  Select a Course from
the list presented.  You must enter a valid date.  Make sure
the correct Score Type (18 Hole, Front 9,or Back 9) is
selected.  Enter your Score for each hole.  The cursor
advances automatically as you enter Scores.  If you enter a
"1" digit the cursor will not advance until you type a
second digit.  If you need to enter a hole-in-one,  press
<CR> after entering the "1".

If you do not have hole by hole score information, Scores
may still be entered for Handicap calculations.  Check the
Enter Totals box on the right of the form.  Enter Gross and
Adjusted (Gross Score - ESC adjustments) Scores.  An
Adjusted score must be supplied.  Scores entered in this way
will be used in calculating Handicaps and will appear in
Score lists, but will not be used when generating
Statistics.


Editing Course Data

Select EDIT-COURSES from the menu bar.  Select a Course from
the list.  You may change any item except the Course Name.
Click on Done when finished.  You may also delete the Course
by clicking on the Delete button.  Scores previously entered
for this course will not be deleted but will not be used
when generating Statistics or when recalculating Handicaps.
You will be asked if you want Handicaps recalculated.  If
you answer "Yes", your Handicap will be recalculated
immediately.  This may cause a significant delay if a large
amount of data has been entered.


Editing Score Data

Select EDIT-SCORES from the menu bar.  Select the Date for
the Round to be edited.  You may change any item on the
form.  Click on Done when finished.  You may also delete the
Round by clicking the delete button.  Edit or deletion will
cause a Handicap recalculation.  This may cause a
significant delay if a large amount of data has been
entered.


Recalculate Handicaps

Select EDIT-RECALC from the menu bar.  Use this command to
force a recalculation of your Handicap.


Displaying Course Data

Select DISPLAY-COURSES from the menu bar.  A list showing
data for all entered Courses will be displayed.  Also shown
is the current Course Handicap for the player for each
listed Course.  Course Handicaps will not be shown until a
valid Handicap is established (at least 5 Scores prior to an
Update).


Displaying Score Data

Select DISPLAY-SCORES from the menu bar.  A summary of all
entered Rounds is shown.  The information shown includes the
Date the Round was played, the Course Name, the Score (Gross
Score), Adjusted Score (Gross Score - ESC adjustments), and
the Net Score ( Gross Score - Course Handicap).

Select DISPLAY-STATISTICS from the menu bar.  A table
showing the Average Score, the number of Holes-in-one,
Double Eagles, Eagles, Birdies, Pars, Bogies, Double Bogies,
>Double Bogies, and Percentages of each type for par 3's,
4's and 5's is presented.


Displaying Handicap

Select DISPLAY-HANDICAP from the menu bar.  A Graph will be
produced which shows the history of the Nine and Eighteen
Hole Handicaps for the past year.  You won't see any data
plotted until the Scores entered establish a valid Handicap
(at least 5 Scores prior to an Update).  The current
Handicap as of the last Update is shown at the bottom.
Click on the List button to see a list showing Handicaps at
each Update.  The last line shows the Handicap as of the
current date.  This Handicap is not in effect until the date
shown on that line.


Configure Dates

Select CONFIG-DATES from the menu bar.  Enter a convenient
Starting Date which is earlier than the date of the first
Score you will enter.  The Interval you select here will
determine the rate at which Handicap Updates will be done.
This should be done prior to entering any data, but it is
possible to change these settings after data has been
entered.  This will cause a an immediate recalculation of
the Handicap.  This may cause a significant delay if a large
amount of data has been entered.


Configure Player Data

Select CONFIG-PLAYER DATA from the menu bar (this form is
also automatically presented when entering the first Score
data for a Player).  Select the Sex of the Player (some USGA
handicap rules are different for men and women) and enter
Starting Handicaps if a USGA type Handicap has been
previously established.  If you do not enter a previous
Handicap, the program will automatically supply the default
maximum Handicap values (36.4 and 18.2 for men or 40.4 and
20.2 for women).  If this data is changed after Scores are
entered, an automatic recalculation of the Handicap will
occur.


Quit Program

Select FILE-QUIT from the menu bar to exit program.
